WE referred last week to the exciting
campaign in Texas oyer the adoption OF
Constitutional Prohibitory amendment
the vote on which was taken on yerter-
week. The returns from most of the
counties In the state have been received
and they show that .he amendment is
defeated by not less than one hundred
thousand majority, and probably even
more than that. It was a remarkable
csmpaign and the result gives the Pro-
E,o,tion sham 4 staggering blow. There
Is no reason 20 believe that the Prohibi.
t4.aisis OF Texas had they carried the
2ly AZ the polls. would have succeeded
any better in suppressing the sale of
liquor than the Prchibitionists in Maine
Rhode leland, Iowa OF Kansas have
done. So far rs the total suppression
Of the liqnor traffic Is concerned there
Is no real difference between ProiLbI-
tion victory in Maine or Kansas and n
Prohibition defeat in Texas. Men have
never yet been made temperate by an
Act of Assembly or "A Constitutional
amendment, and never will be, until
human nature undergoes a complete
transformation. Self interest and re-
spect for public opinion may cause an
intemperate person TO forsake his evil
Eays. but no mere act Of legislation eau
any more make a man lead sober life
than 1t can make him moral and re-
igious.

Archbishop Walsh Oh Coercion.

BALTIMORE, August S.-The Sun to-
day has letter from its special CORES
pondent now in Dublin. which includes
an interview with Archbishop Walsh On
the probable effect of the coercion act.
The Archbishop says he does not regard
1t as political question, but as one
purely social and economic-one that
controls the domestic welfare ard the
happiness Of every household in the
land. 1t is quite certain that the literal
execution OF the act would break up.
root and branch, the National League
and absolutely stifle any open demon
stratiOn Of sympathy with home rule.
II IS probably quite as much on account
of its unusually hard features as for
any other reason that the Irish Nation
alists look upon it as a measure that
England would only fully avail itself of
as an extreme resort.
The Archbishop attaching only
secondary importance to this act, and
looking upon the amended land bill as
removing large portion of the ipjus-
tices which the farmers complain,
auguIs happy prospects for the future.
He, too, thinks that In a year or two
more an Irish Parliament will again
sit IN the old Parliament house in Dub
lin.
In the matter OF the evictions, which
the Archbishop asks to be stopped, the
fact seems appalling that for the three
months ended on the I'd OF July 9, 40
persons have been evicted. Gladstone,
he said, did not want to appeal to the
country this year, when they were all
as confident as could be that Gladstone
would go back 10 power with tremend-
Gus majority to back him. The Arch
bishop said he never went to Dublin
Castle, which is the abode of the Lord
Lieutenant OF ireland, except on public
buslnes, but he seemed to think it was
probable, in view of the expected i'm
proved order OF things, that he would
IN the future visit there socially.

Starving a Jury In OIden Times

Jurymen are better of in these times
than in the good old days when it was
the law to endeavor TO starve them into
a verdict 1t is bad enough Iow to be
put TO loss of time and money, with
little or inadequate recompense, with
out being starved or fined into the bar
gain. In the early part of the reign of
Henry VIII Lord Chief Justice Reed
tried an action when on circuit in which
The jury were locked up. but before Civ
ing their verdict had eaten and dronk,
which they all confessed. This being
reported to the Judge he fined them
each heavily and took their verdict. In
Hilary term, Sixth Henry VIII, the
case came before the full Court of
Queens Bench On joint motion to set
aside the verdict on the ground Of infor-
mality Of trial. the jury having eaten
when they should have tasted, and next
remit the fines under the peculiar cir
cumstaDces OF the case. The jury aver
red that they had made up their minds
in the case before they ate, and had re-
turEed into Court with verdict, but,
finding the Lord Chief Justice had run
out to see a fray" and not knowing
when he might come back, they had re-
freshments. The Court confirmed both
the verdict and the fines. In "Dyer's
Reports case is reported of a jury
who retired TO consider their verdict,
and when they came back the balliff
informed the Judge that soma OF them
(which he could not depoSe) had been
feeding while locked up. Both bsiliff
and jury were sworn, and the pockets of
the latter were examined, when it sp-
peared that they all had about them
''pippins," of which 'some of them
confessed they had eaten, and the others
said they had not" All were severely
reprimanded. and those who had eaten
were fined lbs. each, and those who had
not eaten were fined 6s. each "for that
they had them in their pockets. All
the Year around.

gates TO the Seventeenth General Con-
vention Of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union OF America, which opened at the

OF people. Owing to the short route tie
streets and psvements along the line
were densely crowded at every point.
There was a plentiful display of fire
works and colored lights. The line con-
sumed an hour and ten minutes in pass
ing the Cathedral, and during all that
time the four sides Of Logan Square.
around which the procession wsnded It's
way were brilliantly illuminated by
thousands of torches and coIored lights.

charity, and more clearly evinces an
direction in its reforpatory
efforts"

Mr.. QUAV's Republican State Con-
7ention TO nominate candidate for the
Supreme Court and a candidate for
State Treasurer, viii meet at Harris
burg on next Wednesday. The Con-
vention will merely register the well
known wish OF Mr.. Quay which is uu-
dsrStood beyond any kind of doubt 10
be decidedly in favor OF Judge Williams,
of Tiogs county, for the Judgeship, and
William B. Hart. OF Harrisburg, for
Treasurer. In selecting Williams as
his candidate MI. Quay displays his
usual political skill in such matters
Williams is known, or it is at least
claimed for him, not to have auy love
for the Standard oil company through
whose efforts at Harrisburg al the late
session OF the Legislature the Pipe line
Dill was defeated in the Senate after 1t
had passed the House by an overwhelm-
ing majority. The oilproducers, cores
of whom we're at Harrisburg at the tin q,
charged Quay with the defeat OF the
bill IN the Senate and declared that
they would cruelty the Republican State
ticket at the election next November.
Quay is far too shrewed politician ever
TO haYe entered into any arrangement to
defeat the Pipe line bill, although, as
we have stated, the oil producers made
the charge against him, and he we'll
knowns that 1t is a dangerous expert
ment TO have The oil region arrayed
against the Republican State ticket.
Hence bis anxiety to have Williams, an
anti-Stansrd oil company man, nomin-
ated for Judge. He regards Williams
as a safe tub TO be thrown to the oil pro-
ducer whale. Quay's set-up will win on
next wednesday and the oil producers
will vote for it. They have hastily
threatened on previous occasions to up-
upset Quay's ticket, but their opposi-
tior never amounted TO a row of pins.

4 Duel In Earnest.

y fatal duel was fought week before
last, on the banks OF the Yazoo rizer,
opposite Greenwood, Miss, between
Georg Evans and Budd Harris, both
well known colored men. The men
we're terribly in earnest and selected
double-baIreled shot guns which were
loaded with buckshot. Only two PAGES
apart they stood, the mnZZle of the guns
almost touching, when the word was
given to FIRE. Both responded almost
at the same moment. Evans fell dead,
his breast torn TO pieces with murderous
ouekshot. Harris is dangerously, per-
haps fatally wounded.
